Until the unrestricted party work for EW content, this method can be used to solo. After that it won't be.

As long as you show the start of the pull - end of the fight, everything should be fine. In this case the in-game timer will be used.

I did not say it was, just that it was probably better.

it's probably better to use an emulator on PC.

1. there is a few skips you can learn, some easier than others(RRA base has a few easy one that skip fights), Pilaf's Castle has a semi hard one. Just a matter to learn. Another good strat is during the fights, in the tournaments it is best to push them in a corner so you can do an extended combo(watch a video for this), during normal boss fights, you can use an infinite combo strat that consist of doing a jump into a down kick into 2 neutral attacks and then repeating the jump part. Another trick is during the rock breaking minigame and the boss of the Muscle Tower, you can use the spin attack to break the wall and the rock falling from the sky faster than doing any combo.

2. lowest difficulty is fine

3. JP is better overall for textboxes, the time saved is minimal but if you can get one then why not.

when you open the split program, right click it and "edit splits". Then proceed to write every splits you may need for the run.

Usually runners make their own splits.

You can make a playlist on youtube of the multiple parts.

You can stop timer once you stop moving and log off, start back when you log back in/first movement.

I do not check these forums very often(in the future it is better if you ask your questions in the discord which should be linked somewhere on this page). The Market Board will never be allowed in runs for equality and fairness among all runners.

For now everything will remain the same, until we get more info on the matter nothing will change.

god I love this forum

no exception

Everything from the start of the run all the way to the final quest has to be streamed/recorded.

Probably not since PS3/PS4 slime weapons are DLC iirc

You can use OBS to capture videos/stream, twitch.tv or youtube.com are both streaming websites.

It is not allowed anymore.
